One argument that I hear is that all these abstractions allow the developer to focus on delivering products and not worrying about the nuts and bolts of the underlying system, but in my experience the best and most efficient developers have been the ones who know how the systems work.

Those things are not mutually exclusive though, at all

They are not indeed, just sharing my anecdata that the best ones I have come across happen to know much more about the details.

I am sure one can find good and efficient devs that know very little about the underlying system and are very capable of using the available abstractions and frameworks. I just happen to find the first group better.
